how useful is the test server?

[bayle3]

every time i log on test server there is never a thing happening.

if no one is testing, does this affect the outcome of what is being tested?

i mean even when i log on, more than half the time i dont have a class or level of the stuff i would love to test.

i would love to see more templates that represent the skills and classes being tested. if were going to test, give us the tools to do so.

Perhaps it would be helpfull if we could talk with the oposite realm in a channel and pms on test server so we can check skills effects on each other

I have tryed to get on a few times over the weekend and with no one there its hard to do stuff. Trying to talk my guild into all going but its hard with no insentive to go there.

thats pretty much my point.

i dont see Mythic responding to feedback given to them on the test server, and thats the only incentive to play on test server.

no one is going to test unless you reward them for doing it. they would rather spend their time playing the toons they normally play on their native servers.

Whats funny was that Mythic banned me from the official forum for a week when I tried to rally people to meet and duel at Eataine to gather info for them. Their server is dead and they banned their only loyal active pvper that like to test their game for them... /sad panda

Actually on 2/6 there is a decent turnout on the PTS to test locking and lotd. I think there are more than 200 players total, and should give a decent evaluation to the actual result when this patch goes live.

But since there are changes not implemented yet I think they should hold another round of focused testing.

dont get me wrong, 200 is a decent number for the test server.

but if you want it to be accurate it should represent the kind of load it is going to see when it goes live.

i was on earlier, must have belonged to order.

i dont really have any toons that high on the order side, so i wasnt able to do much there. according to other destro folk, order has had locked down for quite a while now?

all in all, land of the dead looks like it will be somewhat amusing, if they fix all the bugs.
